I also thought the $740 price was never going to get any better, so much so I was worried that price would end yesterday

On this offer, for sample dates in late March a NYC-LHR-NYC WT+ r/t comes in at $493.85, a saving of more than $150 on the regular fare.
This is a real bargain. I guess its kiss and make up for GC.
I wish they'd offer these fares out of the UK - I want to make a gift of a WT+ (with or w/o MFU) to a UK based traveller.
Has anyone MFU'd one of these fares?

I wish to express my thanks for the link - we found 3 WT+ tickets SFO-AMS for $2K! - and now appeal to the experts in this forum with a question.
Any way I can book an open jaw with this fare type? There seems to be good availability to/from both LHR and AMS on dates we're interested in, and we'd really like to do an open jaw with one Eurostar trip instead of 2.
For that matter, can you book any open jaw ticket on BA.com? I've never figured out how.

At the moment you can't book any open jaw tickets on ba.com, only the abilty to return to an alternative airport.
AMS-LON by train requires a change in BRU, journey time about 5.5hrs inc connecting time.

I hope they have a similar offer then. Right now WT+ for June from BOS to FCO is showing over $1,400. I tried putting in dates in March and it comes out to be around $697. I'll keep my fingers crossed.
June is a high season month and WT+ fares are based on an addition to WT which is more expensive in the summer. For example, from regular T class fares NYC-LON are $1,000 r/t in the high season, FCO would be near $1,500. I kinda doubt this special offer will make it past the low season. The $697 fare you quote for March represents true value.

Thank you OP
Just booked this deal in WT+ for spring MCO-LGW $518 all in (x2) as Christmas gift for daughter and son-in-law. This will begin and end (in comfortable style)the 6 week pan-Europe backpack trip that they'd been hoping to do someday. FlyerTalk now has 2 new fans. Thank you for the post.

This will be a great price for the Barcelona Do. Can anyone tell me how I can find out if it is indeed T class? I can't find the booking fare/class throughout the booking process. Did I miss it somewhere?
Last of all, only outbound has MFU available. Can I do one way upgrade for a RT ticket? If I can upgrade outbound and then inbound is available for MFU later, can I still request it? Thanks for the help.
